Can you feel it Shh, allow the galaxy to pamper your body, blanket the essence of your mind, bit-by-bit Travel on a higher awareness to understand the galaxy’s gentle gift Close your eyes and allow your mind to softly drift Soft Moonlight Dust Illuminating the night skies, given warmth of its inner trust Centered in the sky, a star abates for its enlighten ****** Kindred minds to enrapture, as souls physically adjust So gentle, as a touch to the skin An inner space to conquer, there an exploring craving begins Awareness of self stirring into the constellation Bodies attuned beyond the stretch of imagination Savoring on the flavor of the alignment sweeten taste Desires igniting an inferno, the heat of its flames refusing to wait Overheated friction surrendering without debates Runaway yearning weakening in the presence of fate The ecstasy of the moonlight’s dust felt, abiding to the crack of dawn Emotions of the elixir slowly withdrawn A Cheshire moonrise Always a sacred communion given in surprise Masked feelings hidden behind the stars in our eyes Sprinkles of pixie dust as the moon becomes full Paired upon, as lace meets wool Interwoven and tenderly spun on a galactic spool Stars In Exile Twinkling for eyes to glimpse beyond the earth’s smile Canopus to Antares, oh how you make me shine Closing my eyes, coveting your point as I’m making you mine Settled and glittering as small diamonds binding in the sky A wondrous elopement to experience in the blink of an eye Soft whispers to the ones that shoot right before they fall Such a beautiful and breathlessly cadence to wish under them all The Gift Of The Sun’s Stroke Umm, shooting stars kept me awoke Relentless bodies bathing under the moon Caresses, touches, entwined souls echoing the note of its weakening tunes Sweeter and sweeter, deeper and deeper Bodies fueled, hot as a heater, bodies climbing steeper and steeper Heat consumes the interior of the temple Sweat of life, as movements come together and then disassemble Elated, sedated, dipping in a cool blue lagoon Kisses under the sun on a beautiful afternoon Temperatures rising not a moment too soon June slamming into summer’s heat A merriment of a sun stroke basking in the glorious feast The galaxy and its spicy passion A gift to the world to enjoy in any unbridled fashion

Everything in quotations marks and italics was written by TS Eliot. eyes knowing glossy men, sheer women, creatures, not all artists, but artists, always thus, centrifugal, simple from their core, emanate, resonate, expand the exterior with interior precision sculpting to the interior delve, via brush or limb, pen or music, the exposition, the exploration, the reconstruction of composing one's self, creation and destruction of your own myths movement of arms and legs, sparseness of simplicity subsidiaries of centricity, tributaries of complexity, oriented to their locality the simple purpose of inhalation, to exhale, after transformation, the calculus of thought into emotion: *"the tongues of flame are in-folded into the crowned knot of fire and the fire and rose are one"* the dancers hear the music: *"so deeply that it is not heard at all, but you are the music while the music lasts."* **”Quick now, here, now always – A condition of complete simplicity (Costing not less than everything) And all shall be well and All manner of thing shall be well"**

"A condition of complete simplicity"
The night is only a sort of carbon paper, Blueblack, with the much-poked periods of stars Letting in the light, peephole after peephole -- A bonewhite light, like death, behind all things. Under the eyes of the stars and the moon's rictus He suffers his desert pillow, sleeplessness Stretching its fine, irritating sand in all directions. Over and over the old, granular movie Exposes embarrassments--the mizzling days Of childhood and adolescence, sticky with dreams, Parental faces on tall stalks, alternately stern and tearful, A garden of buggy rose that made him cry. His forehead is bumpy as a sack of rocks. Memories jostle each other for face-room like obsolete film stars. He is immune to pills: red, purple, blue -- How they lit the tedium of the protracted evening! Those sugary planets whose influence won for him A life baptized in no-life for a while, And the sweet, drugged waking of a forgetful baby. Now the pills are worn-out and silly, like classical gods. Their poppy-sleepy colors do him no good. His head is a little interior of grey mirrors. Each gesture flees immediately down an alley Of diminishing perspectives, and its significance Drains like water out the hole at the far end. He lives without privacy in a lidless room, The bald slots of his eyes stiffened wide-open On the incessant heat-lightning flicker of situations. Nightlong, in the granite yard, invisible cats Have been howling like women, or damaged instruments. Already he can feel daylight, his white disease, Creeping up with her hatful of trivial repetitions. The city is a map of cheerful twitters now, And everywhere people, eyes mica-silver and blank, Are riding to work in rows, as if recently brainwashed.

The Kingdom of Morocco has a rugged mountain interior which reminds me of the British meal of mince and potatoes. But hold that thought, and examine our seemingly superior Western legislation. Just like the pickle, the dynasty of death is a brazen festival percussionist who is celebratory in her bitter and gustatory inevitability. Jizyah is that taxation which is imposed upon those who fail to conform to those expected societal norms. Although we have the status quo, one cannot help but wonder what happened to the rectitudes of individuality and paradoxical equality? So, where do we go, oh navigator of the great and mighty West? Marrakech or Rabat? I have no concrete awareness of where solace is to be found. I am lost! Therefore, I can only offer the following direction: Contemplate the ever-changing intricacy of the dunes in anthropological amazement and acknowledge the sky at night. Allow the celestial pole of the North Star to speak to your deep uncertainty. Our purpose is openly displayed if we simply open our heart in the midst of our Bedouin oasis. That, my friend, is the essence of being psychosocial.

Arabian Spiritual Biodiversity
A blackening morning bleeds and deepens the opening of iron lungs. Paperweight bones threaten gaiety and the smell of sleep. Such sadness pours inward, it has chosen the wrong body as cold folds over the world, so it feels real, stained frost in vacuous black. The pure leap of malignity agitates the interior of a woman's red heart, melting like embers. In the sulphur, words dry while water slides down. Drips and thickens. Gaping hole exposed- too early for the dawn.

flashlight to toes
She strides down the street, Holds that cancer stick up to her mouth, Takes a deep breath in, Filling her lungs with lethal smoke, Gradually rotting away her Interior. Her heart beats out of her chest. [A heart divided between two hearts.] He’s waiting at the street corner Between the alley of lust and the Path of ignorance. She sees his silhouette in the Distance, a dark apparition. Her heart leaps out of her chest, Towards him, Reaching for him, Propelling her to him. She had absolutely no control over the matter. The other man she loves is home Alone, waiting for her too. Moments ago, he Held her in his arms, Kissed her goodbye, Told her to hurry back soon. “I love you.” “I love you, too” - the words Suddenly conveyed No meaning to her. She told him she was Running an errand, when, In reality, She was running away From him. [*A heart divided between two hearts Can never really be a heart.*] His love suffocates her. His love drowns her In its constancy, In its predictability. With him, she feels like a Bird with its wings ripped off. Held captive, in a wire cage. [*A heart divided between two hearts Can never beat the way it should.*] How can a woman with two men Who love her Feel so Staggeringly Alone? Who will love her until their Disintegrating hearts turn into Simply dust. [*A heart divided between two hearts Can never really keep from rupturing, Infecting the body with its own poisons.*] So she lets her underground lover Envelop her in his arms And kiss her until both of their lips Are numb, Until they both want more. Until they cannot restrain themselves. His love releases her out of her Cage, allows her to fly once again. The passion of these moments Will never be forgotten. His love brings the roses back to Her lifeless cheeks, brings life Back to the void inside her. And, his love allows her To fly back home, once again, Straight into the arms of the Man who is her keeper.

Psychedelic Rose Hallucinogenic eugenics False beauty Portrayed poorly Because it’s unreal Yet The feelings pursue me Persecution Prosecution Against this prostitution of emotions I sell myself cheap $20.00 The price for my soul Sold To the mass Extinction of reality Who’s to say this bouquet Of roses Can’t arise before My death? I decorate The interior To design a mind That’s perfected In the opinions Of those who know No better Drama setter Setting the décor For the setting Letting the encore Bring life In the form Of more roses Atrocious Notoriety From unwanted fame Or A poor poet Starving artist Projected as a failure In this motion picture Called life.

Agreed, that love is attraction - though not only surface sensual, as you maintain, not only toward the external - But that sweet involuntary pull is also inward for expansion; for interior sifting and resolution. Love is primarily attraction to unexplored depths of the self. - fr

how do you paint water, or clouds? I could read poetry for the brief, of my of remaining life, however brief, and never be satiated, of love, and streams of water, never stilled, always running in patterns that exist, but for milliseconds, admired by clouds born in, of, a moment of re-formation that is perpetuity long: unending shape shifting, like the freedom of flowing water currents, forming, reforming and unthinkable, nay, inconceivable that human eyes or their spoken words could capture their shiny white foamy essence But of love, that we can do, paint, design, recreate its endless loops of undulations, like the radiating circularity of a pebble dropped gently to its burial sight in a quiet pond. Humans know, understand and excel at clasping and grasping at the synapsing of human cells from differing bodies: the exogenous erogenous of human touch that like the clouds and the water, who could paint that, who capable of capturing said sensations that wrack and enliven the body with invisible interior chemical reactions. I cannot. Thankfully better men and women have treatised  their entreaties to the powers of the universe and been rewarded with the skilled delicacy of weaving human tapestries, the milliseconds of connectivity, eclectic and electrifying of different currents and differing amperage’s forming and reforming like water moving, just  like the clouds changing in response to the externalities of wind and gravity and all the forces of nature that encourage us to study and stare at these flows, hoping to entrance them into standing still for but a moment, and instead, mesmerizing us into standing motionless for hours in awe of their freedom. Love’s undulations too mesmerizing, and freezing us into place, or alternatively caucus to run endlessly arms extending, flying though not airborne, rocketing us upwards while feet never budging, but finding good wards, masterful metaphors to recreate and thus to share the fabulous mystery of this thing we know as love. 2:58AM Friday jul 22 (jewel 22) of the 23rd year of the 21st Century.

Angelic minds, they say, by simple intelligence Behold the Forms of nature. They discern Unerringly the Archtypes, all the verities Which mortals lack or indirectly learn. Transparent in primordial truth, unvarying, Pure Earthness and right Stonehood from their clear, High eminence are seen; unveiled, the seminal Huge Principles appear. The Tree-ness of the tree they know-the meaning of Arboreal life, how from earth's salty lap The solar beam uplifts it; all the holiness Enacted by leaves' fall and rising sap; But never an angel knows the knife-edged severance Of sun from shadow where the trees begin, The blessed cool at every pore caressing us -An angel has no skin. They see the Form of Air; but mortals breathing it Drink the whole summer down into the breast. The lavish pinks, the field new-mown, the ravishing Sea-smells, the wood-fire smoke that whispers Rest. The tremor on the rippled pool of memory That from each smell in widening circles goes, The pleasure and the pang --can angels measure it? An angel has no nose. The nourishing of life, and how it flourishes On death, and why, they utterly know; but not The hill-born, earthy spring, the dark cold bilberries. The ripe peach from the southern wall still hot Full-bellied tankards foamy-topped, the delicate Half-lyric lamb, a new loaf's billowy curves, Nor porridge, nor the tingling taste of oranges. —An angel has no nerves. Far richer they! I know the senses' witchery Guards us like air, from heavens too big to see; Imminent death to man that barb'd sublimity And dazzling edge of beauty unsheathed would be. Yet here, within this tiny, charmed interior, This parlour of the brain, their Maker shares With living men some secrets in a privacy Forever ours, not theirs.

For every single barracuda smile. Every apple that we didn't bite. All the dull exotic things I never had the chance to say. The way the ocean is louder at night, the glittering bones of the city, the taste of black cherries. For every paper star, and liquid street, suburban summer mattress like a shrine. For hands like deep-sea divers through your hair. The unknown red interior of you, the foreign countries of your thoughts. For every back of matchbook message, every finger tracing up my thighs, and for our reckless lips rubbed raw and red. For all the casual knives of conversation, the snow like stained glass underneath the sky. For illuminated cities half-submerged. Every exquisite impulse and grass-scented infidelity. For my heart like glass, like coal, like diamond. The salt and starless seas that crave a sailor. For the hand-grenade of lust and the ugly gardens of regret. For your eyes like earthquakes, like cigarettes, like disaster. For every dark-haired, blue eyed boy.

Miscommunication serendipity, anticipation, blurred reality - lost in the dialect of a dream, in pursuit of Love find callous irony; subversion of desire what's it all about? to know and be known. Mere seconds of scrutiny inferior, I am shown. Her appraisal eviscerating my warm flesh, her tilted criteria supplanting the interior, voluble with saccharine neologisms and preferences for the exterior. (not mine) Ironic was my attraction to her brain. Lines, features and symmetry, image - the commodity, aesthetics, the currency in this transaction, cursory liaison, incendiary, collapse of the insurgent ego - there was no us in the the affair of nothingness. Bruised in abasement, I'm not the one -   I thought I was. Hyperbole - the center of delusion, a curious diversion - avoid my life. The allure of the illusion, transference, the ordinary to the romantic, the perfect other. Searching, the absorbing project - aquiring wholeness, did she reject me? I rejected me. The escape into fraudulent sadness, to mourn, is to displace, the disowned heart by self is tragic.   Should I not mourn for the one I'm deferring? Inside of me It's safe, to lament the loss of identity - tension is agony without resolve sequestered, in my pain, self-imposed familiar terrain, upon retrieval, awaking in renewal, mystery and destiny providentially, I am free.

Miss Communication
Silver skies, tranquil nights Gently gazing down from afar Silver rooftops, twinkling lights Buried deep among the stars Silver memories paint silver portraits Hung from my interior walls Silver melodies, not unfortunate I hear, my name, it calls Silver teardrops stain my cheeks Making melancholy of innocence Silver snowstorms, heartache's peak An evocative and celibate synthesis Silver dreams, silver eyes Meet silver nights, tranquil skies

A Very Sonnet
Her mind lives in a quiet room, A narrow room, and tall, With pretty lamps to quench the gloom And mottoes on the wall. There all the things are waxen neat And set in decorous lines; And there are posies, round and sweet, And little, straightened vines. Her mind lives tidily, apart From cold and noise and pain, And bolts the door against her heart, Out wailing in the rain.

Interior
Circundada por selvas, bajo el cielo Siempre azulado, nuestra casa era Algo como el plumón y el terciopelo: Un tibio corazón de primavera. Se hablaba quedo en nuestra casa; Cierto que cobijaba tantas aves, Que nos salían las palabras suaves Como si las dijéramos a un muerto. Pero nada era triste: la dulzura Poníamos tan dócil armonía Que hasta el suspiro tenue presentía En sus patios sombreados de verdura. El mármol blanco de los corredores Parecía dormir un sueño largo. Las fuentes compartían su letargo. Soñaban las estatuas con amores. Cedían los sillones blandamente, Como un pecho materno, y era fino, Muy fino el aire, así como divino, Cuando filtraba el oro del poniente. ¡Cómo me acuerdo de la noche aquella En que entré sostenida por tu brazo! Moría casi bajo el doble abrazo De tu mirada y de la noche bella. ¡Moría casi! Me llevaste tierno Por largas escaleras silenciosas Y ni tuve conciencia de las cosas: Era un cuerpo cansado y sin gobierno. No sé cómo llegamos a una estancia. La penumbra interior, los pasos quedos, Tus besos que morían en mis dedos Me tornaron el alma una fragancia. Abriste una ventana: allá, lejano, Plateaba el río y el silencio era Dulce y enorme, y era primavera, Y se movía el río sobre el llano. Caminaba hacia el mar con tal dulzura Que parecía una palabra buena. Iba a darse sin fin; la quieta arena Mirábalo pasar con amargura. Y mi alma también rodó en el río, Se hundió con él en perfumadas frondas, Siguiéndolo hasta el mar cayó en sus ondas, Y suyo fue el divino poderío. Se curvó blanda en el enorme vaso, De allí se desprendió como un suspiro, Ascendió por los buques y el retiro De otras mujeres sorprendió de paso. Subió hasta las ciudades de otro mundo; Dormían todos, todo estaba blanco, Luego vio cada mundo como un banco De arena muerta en el azul profundo. Y desde aquel azul que todo abisma Miró en la tierra esta ventana abierta: ¿Quién era esa criatura medio muerta? Y se bajó a mirar. ¡Y era yo misma! Cuando volvió del viaje, envejecida De tanto haber vagado unos instantes La esperaban tus ojos suplicantes: Se hundió por ellos y encontró la vida. ¿Recuerdas tú? La casa era un arrullo, Un perfume infinito, un nido blando: Nunca se dijo la palabra cuándo. Se decía, muy quedo: mío y tuyo.

The rain drapes the windshield in sheets and the radio doesn't reach any stations cold integrity darkens the interior of Alex's rusty crimson Camaro it's never this quiet on the highway sliding between light and lightning laid bare by a flash across the sky naked at the sound of thunder what use is running away if all you can do is drive.

Going Nowhere on the Queensway at Quarter Past One in the Morning on Sunday
I'm telling lies to terrorize tame territory, and so they'll strip me down, string me up, and bleed me dry of glory. Mourning from the morning after, hanging from a ceiling rafter. Two rows of platinum canines, call me a gangsta-veloci-rapper. Truly emancipated, drinking whiskey from Lincoln's skull. Proclamation of my bank roll grants more ***** than animal control. Flicking cigarettes at MC's who think they're superior, into their passenger window to burn holes in their interior. I run all night, jiggle my handle after flushing. All the plump gals seem to love me, I've got their cellulite a'blushing. I don't like ***** but I'll sip on something Russian, if you ship her in the mail first class from your Middle-Euro cousin.

Modern Wrappers, or, Pool Full of Snickers and I Died In It
I got an award For being the stupidest young boy With a wax soul And impressionable. I thought I'd find something Nestled here amidst the trees And I did, But in no halls but the hall of god Speaking to me Dancing between the leaves Singing with every whispered breeze And yet when I stepped Past the threshold and into the "real world" I was sold A maniac of utter delinquency. Everybody there Waiting for their turn Auditioning for the favor of hearts They'll never win Can't see Laughing and wondering Reading without comprehension Sticking their *** in the face of the classics Lap dogs licking the milk from Professed ******* Thinking they'll be next Its not resentment-- Is it fair to be bent Towards dollars that've never been spent? All those silly parks Divided from the civilized lands Frontiers of the past Left to be little staging areas For that invisible hand Kids go on spring break Take pictures between the towns Maybe a stop along On the way To Vegas Deep in the desert where it'd **** any other day I cannot escape the unfathomable beauty of that place, Living off the world in a way God said To toil and love the pain In a way nobody does I am guilty of pride and Stuffed like a pie full of anger Cooking it into solid joy And trying hard to scrape the cancerous crust away All the dark sides we avoid But screaming the heat away is good Thermal induction is the name of the game Entropic fizzlements like bubbles in the wind Sublimating all that ever stood. Yet soon enough I'll be born anew And what I leave behind Lifted up Nautoloid shell With a sparkling abalone interior Someone will place on their shelf And think, "I wonder where that thing had been."

months ago i left my home because it was a tragedy. the place where i never felt alone starts to feel so crowded and heavy. so i wrote my lines into your palm and you took me everywhere you go. walking to the middle of east & north, unsure of where we would end up but we knew we currently stand and that what truly matters, right? there were times when i would miss my childhood bed but you offered me your chest and suddenly i refused to lay down somewhere other than you. there were times when i would miss them and their memories but you make each moment of my past before you unworthy of reminiscing for the lack of euphoria they hold. and there would nights where i would miss being okay because we are constantly moving city to city in a world where i don't wanna stand in but you, for just being you, make me glad to be alive. and the stars hide at night for they would always be set aside because i will always favor your eyes. but there were also nights where you'd forget to hide the cracks of your sin. and the light that escapes your broken lines shines through the dark night, keeping me away from sleep. there goes your light shining from your interior it was so bright as can be, it blinded me from reality. you were a hypnotic drug that commands my feet to follow you wherever you go. i gave you my nights & rhymes and all you gave me is toxic fumes. you had me the moment your secondhand smoke entered my body and you marked me the moment your toxic-laced smoke clouded my air. your heart and my heart are now located at the ends of a line. like intersecting lines, we were once perfect at one point but for some reason, we had drifted from each other. all i could stare it is the starry night but i don't like stars, i don't know where we are and i don't know where to go though, i'm glad as hell i wasn't where i used to be. there are nights where you'll suddenly throw rocks at my window. the moment you'll lay your head on my shoulders, it will always feel like home. you were home and just like my previous one, you are a tragedy.

With your words that made me fly somehow. But hidden within ur innerself its always been your sweetest lie. Talking bout your dreams devouring me like ashes twisted and slowly disappearing. The truth acts like a spirited-away. Letting it fly back to its inside. There's this always inside of you. Something hidden and somethng blocked. Stopping you from outpouring what's inside. Mind and heart was in despair. They were always contrary but hearing all! With your honesty, i know there is all the droppin of everythng. All numb but eyes were all blown. I cant stop it. But all a could say. Everythng was fragile. Revenge has always been part of the human soul. not in its anatomy form or any interior or exterior aspects. But functioning with its own parts. Its the anger! Where it all starts. Jealousy and hurt were the main stream and always end to suffering. Thats all for love. We'd all be needing for us to feel even. Just a pinch of happiness just to get fair for someone that we love but did somethng wrong within us breaking us. Attacking every tiny vessels which in the end, Turning us into an evil creature. It was a buss - telling me it was that simple thing. Not to make it more bigger. But lets end this up. Still it hurts,... Still. Its another woman. Such senstivity arising.

Tirade; sensitivity
Lustrous but also lackluster We are gems yet salvaged Formed inside of a shelled world Waves waning and whining Sailors nauseated on our waters Drifting towards an aggrandized land Where they might find us oysters in the sand They'll tear them open, In search of what only we bear Camouflaged amongst the cultured, Or even those with nothing there Darling, We are wild, Yes we are rare Open up to me, We've so many layers to share Your metallic smile, Your iridescent articulation Everything happened so naturally A miracle to be in the same location They won't crack us, For our muscles will defend Our valuable and vulnerable interior From the worlds vinegary intent
